Synopsis
Authors/Editors
Contributing Authors

The International Encyclopedia of Comparative Law, published in 17 volumes, is written by worldwide recognized leading specialists of comparative law. 16 of these volumes are devoted to one large area of private and commercial law, each of which is dealt with exclusively from a comparative law perspective, whereas the first volume provides reports on all the countries of the world, in alphabetical order, pertaining to the same subjects. Volume VII (in two part volumes) of the International Encyclopedia of Comparative Law is devoted to the general issues of contract law. The first seven chapters deal, respectively, with the basic functions and philosophy of contract; its history; as well as its use by big enterprises; with the public contract; and its role and treatment in the former socialist countries, in the Far East and in Islamic law. Broadest space is allotted to the various heads of general contract law: conclusion, form, defects of consent, general terms of business, rights of third parties and, finally the important issues of non-performance.

Professor at Harvard Law School.
